The hurricanes, are also know as typhoon's, but the word hurricane, is western, it comes from the ancient Olmecs, who had a wind god, called huracan, so when the Spanish saw the storm, they used the local word for it, and it is in use to this day.
Storms that begin in the Southern Pacific are called cyclones. A tropical cyclone occurring between 140 and 180 degrees are called Central Pacific hurricanes. A cyclone is both the name for the whirling, organized storms we call a hurricane or typhoon as well as the name for storms in the Indian ocean.
It depends on where it forms. It it is in the Atlantic Ocean or in the Pacific Ocean east of 180 degrees it is called a hurricane. If it is in the Pacific west of 180 degrees it is called a typhoon. If it is in the Indian Ocean it is called a cyclone or a severe cyclonic storm.
Hurricanes are hurricanes in the North Atlantic and Eastern Pacific area. Hurricanes are called Typhoons in the Asian Pacific area. The formal name for both is tropical cyclone.
In the Southern Hemisphere, hurricanes are called "cyclones" and they rotate in a clockwise direction.
Yes, they do, but there they are called cyclones or severe tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.
clockwise
typhoons
Hurricanes spin clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere are called cyclones.
It is a hurricane that forms under the equater. In the northern hemisphere hurricanes turn counter-clockwise. They are called Typhoons in the southern hemisphere and recently a Hurricane was seen to cross the equator which is very worrying for our future climate.
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) rotate counterclockwise when they occur in the northern hemisphere and clockwise when they occur in the southern hemisphere. Since the term hurricane applies to a tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere, a hurricane will always rotate counter clockwise. However, aside from the direction of rotation there is no real difference between northern and southern hemisphere tropical cyclones.
Yes, In the northern hemisphere they rotate counterclockwise and in the southern hemisphere they rotate clockwise. Such rotation is called cyclonic rotation.
Hurricanes can hit at any time of the year, however they are most common during hurricane or typhoon season, which for much of the Northern Hemisphere runs from June to November, and for much of the Southern Hemisphere runs from December to May.
They do, but most tornadoes don't make international news and generally, the strongest tornadoes that do most of the serious damage occur in the U.S. Hurricanes occur in the southern hemisphere, but are called cyclones or tropical cyclones rather than hurricanes.
Hurricanes spin clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere are called cyclones.
If you mean hemisphere, they occur in both. Tropical Cyclones spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern. The North Hemisphere is generally more active and produces more intense storms than the southern though.
Yes, hurricanes and other cyclones in the Northern hemisphere swirl counterclockwise while in the southern hemisphere they swirl clockwise.
Hurricanes, as well as all the milder low-pressure systems, rotate clockwise (to the right) in the southern hemisphere.
It is a hurricane that forms under the equater. In the northern hemisphere hurricanes turn counter-clockwise. They are called Typhoons in the southern hemisphere and recently a Hurricane was seen to cross the equator which is very worrying for our future climate.
Tropical cyclones that occur south of the equator spin clockwise, but they are not called hurricanes in the southern hemisphere.
No, but they do in the southern one.
when is the month for hurricane to occur in the northern hemisphere?
The direction that they rotate does. Storm systems in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while ones in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. Tropical systems in both hemispheres tend to travel westward.
Hurricanes have always occurred in both hemisphere, likely for millions of years.
New Zealand has cyclones rather than hurricanes. They do not generally occur very frequently. The term used for a storm with very strong winds varies depending on where it occurs. Hurricanes only occur in the Northern Hemisphere, but in the Southern Hemisphere it is known as Cyclones, which is basically the same, but spins in the opposite direction. They are just as deadly and damaging, take the one that happened in the Philippines for example.
